--------------------------------------

             Summary: Use ‘checkstyle’ linting tool
                 Key: OFBIZ-11251
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-11251
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: framework
    Affects Versions: Trunk
            Reporter: Mathieu Lirzin
             Fix For: Upcoming Branch


Linting [1] is a software engineering practice which make the code
more readable and maintainable by improving its consistency and
avoiding potential programming mistakes.

Gradle provides a core plugin for the ‘checkstyle’ tool [2][3] which
provides such facility.  The lint actions are triggered when running
‘gradle check’.

There are a lot reported errors that will need to be fixed
incrementally in the future.  We ensure that new errors will not be
introduced by defining a global threshold of 41546 “allowed” errors
corresponding to the sum of errors currently found in the framework
and in the official plugins.
